TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN; I y I t Be it known thntI, ISAAC WJLEGG Of Long Eddy, in the eounty'of Sullivan, andState of New York, have inventedn. neiv and improved Device for Pulling Hop-Poles; end I do hereby declare that the following is a,

7 full; clear, and exact description the1'eof,.\vhieh win enable .those skilled in theert' to make and use the some,

reference being hadto the accompanying-drawings; forr'ning pert'ei thisspecific ation'.

This invention relates to a. new andu seful device -fo r pnlling hop-poles, and it consists of two hand-levers connected by a pin, and arranged similar to a. tongs; and provided with a fulcrum-block, all being constructed and arranged in such a manner that the device rnnybe adjusted in it proper relative position with a hop pole, andthe latterzpulled up out of the ground with the gr'eiite'st facility. In the accompanying sheet of drawings- Fignre-I is a side sectional view of my invention; taken in the line zx, fig. 2. i Fight-e2 a plan or top view of the same. i

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

' AA represent two levers, which are crossed and connected'by wp'in; 3, near one end, the short arms a a forming jaws, and the long ends 6 6 serving as-handles. I

- The inner'sides of. the jaws a care hollowed out to form conceives, c c, in which pins dhre fitted; one or more in each, (see more particularly fig. 2.) I

The pin B has; cross-bar, e, at its lower end,'which-is pivoted or hinged tothe upper endef e, block,i0,

" which is of Wedge-shape or tapei' for15n, the cross-barb eing connected to the upper nzirroir edge of the same, the lower end heing snfiiciently broad to form a good base, (see fig.- '1.)=-

To the under surface of one of the levers A, a, plate, f, is attached, to prevent the levers A. i'rom'turning on'blo'ek G,' when the device is-eppliedto its work-,- I i r The bloc]: C serves ass bearing or fulcruin-jfor the levers A A,"and will be seen that by placing said I block near the hop-pole to bepulled u p', an'd opening or distending-the jcwsal tti'so th a'tthe pole may be grasped by them; and then depressing-the' handles 6-6, the polewill be pulled upyeg ood'levern'ge power being obtained.

"The device is exceedingly simple and 'eflicien't, jsn'd may-be 'construoted ts very nioderete cost". .I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Petentn I The levers A, When hinged to the ripper edge ofthe wedge shpped bloclz 0,-bymeans-oi the pin B'nnd cross-bar e, said-levers also provided vwith the plntef npon thei'r iinderlsides. hsherein described, for the purpose,
